primary monitor sometimes freezes while presenting

[pastorlee]

We are using Powerpoint 2002 on a Microsoft XP machine. Sometimes the
presentation being shown on the primary monitor freezes, while at the
same time, the same presentation on the secondary monitor operates
normally. Is this a powerpoint issue or a video card issue?

Any ideas?

Thanks

If the slide show is running on the primary monitor and you accidentally click
on the secondary monitor, focus is given to it. You need to click on the
primary monitor to give it the focus. Is this what is possibly happening? You
might want to check into PowerShow on the chance that you need the additional
functionality and control that it provides. See
